By Annie TalksEccelesiastes 9:7 NIVGo, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.When I was a kid in grade school, we sang a song called "Happiness Is," which is from the musical "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown." It had lyrics like: "Happiness is finding a pencil, pizza with sausage, telling the time." Isn't that just adorable? Then there were other lyrics that were a little more profound: "Happiness is being alone every now and then. Happiness is coming home again. Happiness is morning and evening. Daytime and night time too. For happiness is anyone and anything at all that's loved by you." Simply wow!I think of God when I hear those lyrics. For God gives us morning and evening, daytime and night time, too. But truly happiness is anyone and anything loved by you, God!Who knew a childhood song would have such deep and profound meaning? In this verse, Ecclesiastes 9:7, the Hebrew word is RAT-SAH which implies acceptance or favor. This verse suggests that God has blessed the works of those who live righteously, and that their actions are pleasing to God. And in this verse, the author writes: "Go!" We're not told to just "eat our food with joy," but "Go!" Seize the day. Carpe Diem! According to crossway.com, God takes pleasure in your pleasure. He's given it to you, "The sunrises, the sunsets, small dogs and puppy tails wagging, the coo of a newborn baby, etc.). Enjoy the blessings God gives you and share it! Be the light, the sunshine, the song in people's hearts. Be glad in the Lord. As Christians we are not only God's hands and feet, to some we may be the only hope they're longing for. We are to shine God's light continuously; be the song that someone maybe never heard of that tells of God's promise and love.To me, that's what Happiness truly is! God love you!
